ANNUAL REPORTS


REPORT OF SOMERVILLE PLANNING BOARD


December 31, 1924.


To His Honor. the Mayor, and Board of Aldermen.


Gentlemen :


As required by the provisions of Chapter 494 of the Acts of 1913 the Planning Board herewith submits its annual re- port, together with recommendations for the year 1925, as herein contained.


Organization


The Planning Board met and organized for the year 1924, the following members being present; John Williamson, George J. Rauh, Benjamin J. Surett and David JJ. Kelley. The Board elected John Williamson Chairman and David J. Kelley Secretary for the ensuing year.


Previous Recommendations


During the year 1924 the Planning Board has had month- ly meetings, but has been unable to go forward and complete its plans already begun with reference to zoning the city for the reason that the city government failed to provide sufficient funds for that purpose. This was due in large measure to failure on the part of the Board of Aldermen to take any defi- nite action on the recommendations previously made by the Planning Board. with particular reference to two matters ;


1. The matter of establishment of fire districts, which were great- ly needed.


2. The enactment of a suitable building code ordinance.


For these reasons His Honor, the Mayor felt that it would be useless to spend more of the city's money until the Board of Aldermen had taken some action based upon the recommen- dations made by the Planning Board.


However, at the December meeting of the Board of Alder- men an ordinance was enacted, establishing Fire Districts throughout the city, and the Mayor and Board of Aldermen are to be commended for this first step, which will provide future fire protection to our city, and in time will bring about


113


PLANNING BOARD.


a reduction in the high rate now paid for fire insurance pre- miums.


No action has been taken in reference to the building code submitted by the Planning Board for approval by the Board of Aldermen.


In addition to the recommendations above mentioned, the Planning Board has also previously made the following recom- mondations :


a. Establishment of playgrounds in different sections of the city ..


b. Mystic River Development.


c. Survey of the city, with special reference to information on real estate assessments.


(1. Enactment of a zoning ordinance.


Playgrounds


During the year 1924 the city government has taken action in one section of the city by purchasing an area in Ward 6 for playground development, but there are other sec- tions of the city still needing service, as shown on the Plan- ning Board plans in its office at City Hall. The Planning Board would be very glad to cooperate with a committee from the Board of Aldermen in reference to selecting suitable sites for playgrounds in different sections of the city, in accordance with information already available, so that the most desirable sites can be selected, which will give accommodations to the greatest number of children.


Mystic River Development


During the year there has also been a change in reference. to the Mystic River, and plans are now under way for the- development of land bordering on the river, which will mean additional taxable property, for the City of Somerville, and also additional responsibilities and expenses in connection with the development which is about to take place. The- Planning Board again urges upon the city government the necessity of taking some land on the river front to be utilized as a wharf by the city, before any new buildings or other de -- velopment has taken place which would increase the damages; to be paid for the taking.


Survey of the City


Nothing has as yet been done on the recommendation of the Planning Board for a survey of the city, especially with


114


ANNUAL REPORTS


reference to assessing of real estate. The City of Somerville is far behind the times in its present system of assessing real estate, as the method of assessment is more or less haphazard, and has depended in the nature of things on the individual judgment of the assessor or assessors who have had the work in hand. The neighboring City of Cambridge has at present the so called block system in operation, which has the city blocked off into districts, and has different land variously assessed according to the district on a scientific plan. While the Planning Board does not recommend the adoption of that particular system for Somerville, it, however, again strongly recommends that the Board of Aldermen take some action towards having a scientific survey of the city made, and a plan devised and carried into effect, which will equalize the assessment of real estate throughout the city, and relieve the present inequitable and unfair situation on assessment of real estate. This observation is in no way a criticism of the pres- ent Board of Assessors, as the Board is of the opinion that it is impossible for them to do any differently, unless they have assistance such as is outlined above.


Enactment of A Zoning Ordinance


The last report of the Department of Commerce at Wash- ington shows that approximately twenty-four million people living in two hundred and sixty-one municipalities through- out the United States are now enjoying the benefits of zoning. This report also shows that the greatest zoning center is in New York State, and Northern New Jersey, having the City of New York as its hub. In view of these facts, it is fair to say that the argument advanced against zoning by opponents of that measure to the effect that the City of Somerville is all built up, and thickly populated, has little or no weight, when we realize that the places where the zoning laws are being enacted, and are now in effect are more populous and more thickly built on than the City of Somerville. The idea of zoning has made a strong appeal in many states in the United States, and here in Massachusetts many of our cities have passed zoning ordinances. We have at the present time twenty-four cities and towns in Massachusetts that have been zoned, including among them the City of Boston, City of Cambridge and City of Medford, all adjoining cities. The Town of Arlington and Town of Belmont have also passed zoning ordinances, so that the City of Somerville is surrounded by towns and cities that have passed zoning ordinances that are now in effect. Although the City of Somerville on April 28, 1923 employed the Technical Advisory Corporation of New


115


PLANNING BOARD.


York to make a survey of this city for the purpose of furnish- ing information to be used later in drafting a zoning ordi- nance, Boston, Medford and Arlington, although they com- pleted their work later than Somerville, have been able to enact a zoning ordinance, while we are standing still, due to the inactivity of our Board of Aldermen.


This information is still available, but if we delay much longer it will mean this work accomplished at great expense will have to be done over again. The Planning Board again strongly recommends that a sufficient appropriation be made for the completion of our zoning laws, and that it be done without further delav.


The other objection that was made to the zoning law was that it had not been tried out, and might be illegal and unconstitutional. Both of these questions have been taken care of by recent decisions of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, in the case of Spector vs Building Inspector of Milton, by decision filed Oct. 18, 1924, also Building In- spector of Lowell vs Joseph Stokloska, filed on the same date. Both of these cases passed on the legality of zoning, and also the constitutionality of the zoning ordinance.


However, the court says in both cases that the zoning ordinance must be drafted as a result of a general, compre- hensive plan carried out and enacted at one time, and cover- ing the whole city, and not the result of haphazard or piece meal legislation. The court in its opinion said that the enact- ment of a zoning ordinance was for the purpose of safeguard- ing the owners of homes within residential districts, and prevent the destruction of residential neighborhoods, so that the owners of the land in that area will not by their actions interfere with the ordinary comfort that should be obtained in residential districts for the health, safety and welfare of the public. The ordinance can also provide that districts can be changed from time to time as circumstances and conditions would warrant, so that the future growth and development of the city will not be hindered by the enactment of the ordi- nance.


Recommendations


The Planning Board again urges upon the city govern- ment the necessity of taking action according to the following recommendations :


1. A survey by a committee of the Board of Aldermen and the Plan- ning Board for the purpose of picking desirable sites for play- grounds.


116


ANNUAL REPORTS


2. Pending the operation of a zoning ordinance the Board of Alder- men should have in mind the following observations;


a. Public garages should be confined to business and industrial districts.


b. No garage for more than five cars should have an entrance or exit within two hundred feet of a playground, school or church, or within any residential district.


C. No machine shop in a public garage may be operated by an- engine or motor of over five horse power, and no repair work may be done out of doors on the street side.


d. No permits for the establishment of gasoline pumps may be given within twelve feet of the street line.


e. All private garages must be kept at least three feet from the side lot line, and set back from the street at least on a line with the houses built on the street, and not be allowed to pro- ject out, so that their doors open on the sidewalk.


f. There is a tendency to keep on building small stores in dif- ferent parts of our city, and also small industrial plants, which injure the neighborhood. This practice should be stopped.


In view of these tendencies it cannot be too strongly urged that Somerville immediately undertake the enactment of a zoning ordinance. A properly drawn zoning ordinance will regulate in the public interest the use, height and location of all buildings, and will generally be beneficial to all proper- ty owners in the city, and for their greater comfort and pro- tection.


Tax Assessments


The Board is of the opinion that the city has outgrown its present system of assessing real estate, although the Somer- vill system is no worse than those in a majority of Massachu- setts cities. Either the Planning Board or a competent special committee should be empowered to make a thorough study of methods and systems for scientifically fixing real estate values, and equalizing assessments, under the guide of specialists, and formulate plans for a new assessment system.


Appropriations


The Planning Board is aware that the Mayor and Board of Aldermen are not desirous of spending the money of the citizens unless an adequate return is made therefor. The Planning Board, however, is of the opinion that if it is given sufficient funds to carry out its program as outlined by the recommendations contained in this report the citizens of the city will benefit by the lower taxes and greater fire pro- tection and increased real estate values. The recent enact- ment of the ordinance creating fire districts recommended in several planning board reports will result in time in greater


117


PLANNING BOARD


fire protection to the citizens. This has been brought about in part through the appropriation made for the Planning Board in 1923. If the Mayor and city government grant the Planning Board a sufficient appropriation this year so that a zoning ordinance may be enacted, it will result in a stabiliz ing of real estate values throughout the city.


In order to carry out the recommendations contained in this report the Planning Board asks the cooperation of the city government by the appropriation of the sum of Ten thous- and dollars, in order that it may during the coming year submit a permanent zoning ordinance, and also submit a new code of building laws. If the recommendations contained herein with reference to assessment of real estate meets with the approval of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen the Plan- ning Board requests that a special appropriation of Five thousand dollars be set apart for this purpose, so that the Planning Board may work together, either with the city government or experts, and submit a plan for a new system for assessment of real estate.


Respectfully submitted.
